Thanks to tderoeck! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim’s orgasmic Trillium tasting”. Hazy golden with a big creamy white. Nose is overly sweet with big doughy yeast, milky sweetness, powdery, total excess of milky sweet doughy yeast. Taste is akin to spoiled milky yeast, big doughy quality, overly sweet, yeast to the extent that it can be almost classified as bad porridge made out of yeast, there is some spoiled porridge quality, bad dough. Needless to say, I fail to note anything in the way of hop presence. Body is yeast porridge. De Plukker Single Green Hop 2014 might have not been an IPA but at least it was an okay Belgian. This one fails as a Belgian Ale needless to say it doesn’t even deserve the classification of being a bad IPA because it simply isn’t one. Rather sad not a fan at all.

16/X/15 - 75cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: I/2016 (2015-1477) Thanks to beerlover_ben for picking this one up for me!

Little hazy deep blond to orange beer, creamy irregular yellowish head, pretty stable. Aroma: yeast, some banana, fruity, bit sweet. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, pretty sugary, some banana, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: some citrus, yeast, little bitter, grassy, green banana. In no way is this an ipa. First real disappointment from De Plukker. :(

From a bottle shared by Craftmember. Very thick and rocky, densely lacing, egg-white head, clearly hops-enhanced, over a lightly hazy golden blonde beer. Agreeable aroma of dried hay, field flowers, white pepper, grass, white bread, dried citrus peel, honey, peach, apple peel. Dry, crisp fruity taste, green apple, green plums and orange peel freshness, very bready and yeasty middle phase with soft to medium, minerally carbonation, finishes with noble ’Euro’ hoppiness, grassy, very floral, peppery, hayish and leafy, hiding a slight hint of whisky and lingering breadiness. Old school, but I like this a lot, it feels very fresh, honest and a bit rural, just the way I like my Belgian ale.
